   ocr: Joseph Wolf total accuracy from the artists he commissioned, because the books were to be used for scientific reference. Wolf's works are still considered among the finest studies of birds ever created. The picture shown on the right is an original watercolor of the Javan peafowl, Pavo muticus. The depiction is amazingly vivid, illustrating the precise markings of the birds and the details of their habitat. Note as well how vibrant X7 the colors are, even some 120 years after the watercolors were created. 213
